Ministry Program

Program Vision:

The Ministry program at BTS is designed to give students an opportunity to explore, learn, and to grow as a ministry professional. These degrees are focused on learning that benefits the full-time church-based professional, or the highly motivated volunteer. The Ministry program is a full professional level graduate degree, at 31-33 courses (62-66 hours). Building off of BTS’s core program, the Masters of Biblical Studies, these are Master of Arts programs that provide a significant academic challenged, coupled with strong applied theology. Currently, BTS offers two different degree concentrations in our Ministry program: Pastoral Leadership and Christian Education. The Ministry degree is a Thesis degree. Students are required to finish their degree with a piece of significant original research.
